Previous outer shape (the black dome is later replaced with a new design)
Motor - chain - Rear axle arrangement
During the first tests, the clamp has broken. The structure is replaced with a custom made pillow bearing
The exact size of pillow bearing was not available in the market. We took a near size bearing and the axle was polished by the shopkeeper himself.
The rear axle was being polished by the shopkeeper (Left) and his assistant (right)
The bearing was fixed to the axle in a small workshop at Ranigunj, Hyderabad (above :Ranigunj street )
